Boomer Kuwanger - Mega Man X (SNES)
The X series uses a the same formula from the Classic series but is still plays radically different from the original Blue Bomber. Even so, the first Mega Man X has a number of things in common with the very first Classic Mega Man game. Both games have robots bosses that have sharp weapons on their heads that can be thrown as weapons. Where as Cut Man was an ideal starting choice in the Mega Man, trying to take down Boomer Kuwanger first probably isn't going to end well for you. Both of these robots do have awesome music, though.
Brimstone & Fire 1st - Tekken 7 (PC, PS4, XBO)
Tekken 7's soundtrack may be a bit too loud and in your face for a lot of people but I've said it before and I will again, there are some exceptionally good tracks in there. This one is still a bit on the heavy side but it is dialed back considerably compared to a lot of other songs in the game. Along with excellent Menu theme and others, I love this one.
City 202 - After Burner II (ARC)
Despite the name, After Burner II is more of an enhanced version of the original game. It is largely viewed as a better game than the first. Hiro returned to write the music for After Burner II and while much of it is from the first game (sounding slightly different), he did give us this peppy new theme. This is one of Hiro's shorter compositions but it is extremely catchy.
Action Type B - Yoshi's Cookie (SNES)
Yoshi was quite the breakout character after his debut in Super Mario World. He was given two of his own puzzle games before finally landing a leading role in the 1995 platformer classic, Yoshi's Island. One of those aforementioned puzzle games was Yoshi's Cookie, first released on the GB and NES and then later receiving an SNES version. Those of you that are fans of classical music should recognize this track.
Memories of Dust (Medium Vocals) - NieR: Automata (PC, PS4)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon: Zero Dawn, NeiR: Automata. Man, 2017 had no shortage of games that took place in a post-apocalyptic setting. I'm actually still need to get around to one of those games I just mentioned. The music for Automata is well, I mean, just listen to this track. Depending on where you are, the track currently playing may have quiet vocals, medium vocals or dynamic vocals.
Gunner Down - Descent II (PC, PS)
Descent was one of my earliest exposures to 3D gaming. I guess I was something of a light weight because all the spinning and turning gave me motion sickness. To this day, it is something I still deal with from time to time with certain games. Nevertheless, I still look back on my memories of Descent with fondness and that is in no small part thanks to the outstanding soundtrack.
